A background script to get rich quick in the Dank Memer Discord bot currency system. Beg like a little baby and spam your way to virtual affluence!
This is a novel exploration of the browser automation features of Selenium WebDriver, as well as the scheduling and multiprocessing features of the Python standard library.
This project is compatible with build 57334 (version hash b1437cc) of the Discord web application by Discord Inc.
The corresponding changelog is dated 2020-03-10.
It is assumed that you have already created a Discord account and set up a personal test server with at least one text channel.
You may also wish to add the Dank Memer Discord bot to the test server. Note, however, that the bot does not need to be present in order to observe the Selenium and Python features that are explored in this project. In fact, it is recommended that you do not use the bot in this manner without first reading and understanding its terms of service and rules.
An installation of Python version 3.6 or later is required to run the software.
This project currently uses the Google Chrome interface of Selenium WebDriver. Therefore, an installation of the Google Chrome web browser is required to run the software.
If you wish to use an alternative interface, refer to the Selenium documentation.
You will need to redefine the __init__ method of the Discordapp class in discordapp.py.
Clone the source from this repository.
git clone https://github.com/martindes01/dank-beggar.git
cd dank-beggarCreate and activate a virtual environment, specifying a suitable path <path>.
A common name for the environment directory is .venv.
python3 -m venv <path>
source <path>/Scripts/activateInstall the dependencies listed in requirements.txt.
pip install --requirement requirements.txtDownload the version of ChromeDriver that corresponds to the installed version of Google Chrome.
- In Google Chrome, navigate to
chrome://version/and note the version number. - Download the corresponding version of ChromeDriver from here.
- Add the ChromeDriver executable to the system path or place it in the root directory.
To start the process in interactive mode, run the dank_beggar.py script and follow the prompts.
You will need the email address and password of your Discord account and the full URL of the target text channel in your personal test server.
python3 dank_beggar.pyThe example.py script allows the process to be started without prompts. Note, however, that this requires saving your Discord email address and password as strings in the script. Therefore, please do not use this method if you are using a public machine or if there is any possibility that someone else could access your files.
Create a copy of example.py named personal_test.py, which already has an entry in .gitignore.
The following changes should be made only to personal_test.py and not to example.py or any other tracked file.
Add your Discord login details to the accounts list.
Each account is defined as a tuple of a Discord account email address and the corresponding password.
Additional accounts can be added to the list and used to accrue and deposit coins (Dank Memer currency) into the primary account.
To enable this, set the recipient string to the username or server nickname of the primary account, and uncomment the 'recipient': recipient keyword argument of the kwargs dictionary.
Set the server_channel_url string to the full URL of the target text channel in your personal test server.
The script starts a new process for each account.
Each process targets the quick_run method of dank_beggar.py.
The required parameters of the method are defined by position in the args tuple.
The optional parameters of the method are defined by keyword in the kwargs dictionary.
See the reference for more information.
To start the process in direct mode, run the personal_test.py script.
